How do I address this? No matter where I work I don’t seem to just get a regular old job where I have regular scheduled hours, do the work and go home. Theres always some nonsense attached and I always let it happen and I’m so done. Everywhere I’ve ever worked I end up doing favours, and just letting things slide and not setting any boundaries and I end up being used instead of appreciated.
Theres a lot of things that my employer and I originally agreed upon that they aren't really honoring. But main issue is starting 2 hours before my normal start time. This involves waking up at 4am, and then buses don’t run as frequently at 6am. So if a bus is late/early I’m screwed. Last time I ended up having to walk an hour freezing in the snow because my second bus went by early and the next one wasn’t coming for another hour.
This week my boss scheduled me for 6 am, but only for a half shift. My commute is total at least 2.5-sometimes up to 4 hours because the buses where I live suck. Waking up at 4 am and feeling major stress trying to get there by 6, possibly having to freeze walking for an hour for a couple hour shift just ain’t worth it. I’ll probably be on the bus nearly as long as the shift. The job description said ‘8 hour shifts‘
I don’t know what to say to my boss. My hours are really not even close to what I applied to/what we agreed upon. But looking at my contract it doesn’t really say anything about hours other than I get overtime after 44. The contract doesn’t say anything about my start time/how long the shifts should be.
I’m not trying to be rude in what I say to my boss. I want to be clear but not come off as disrespectful. I’m so frustrated but it’s like a culmination of frustrations from every job I’ve ever worked. I don’t mean to direct all that frustration at my current boss.
